Hey everyone. I have been going through it these past few months. I have been with my boyfriend for 11 months now and things are not going well for me. We are both in our 30s so I feel even more dumb because I am way too old for this. Well in May he up and decided to quit his job because he wasn’t happy. He had no money and no backup. I gave him money over and over again to help him out. I spent hundreds of dollars getting him groceries for months. I helped him get things for his child to take care of him. I never got paid back. Fast forward a couple of months. He stared back working but he still needed help so my dumb butt gave him help yet again. I continued over and over again. When he was at his new job I went to bring him food I cooked and if I couldn’t I would give him food delivered. I just tried to ease a burden and stress from him.
I have been getting treated like someone that doesn’t even matter to him lately. He is mean and distant to me now he honestly acts like I am just someone who is for play. It’s like a pattern I give him money and when that money runs out with whatever he spends it on. He just goes back to the mean and cold man. I give him money and he is nice. He has baby mama drama also and I’ve been there for him through it all. I’ve stayed down solid for him. It’s like he knows he hurts me when he is so mean distant and cold towards me and he know to solve or I will give him money. Smh. Writing this I feel super dumb for even being here hurting and crying. I’m not rich I have my own things going on and I can’t even go to him because he won’t talk he being mean again because he needs money again. All of our conversations are centered to him. I can even count on him to call him to just vent. It sucks. I just need advice on how to handle this and what to do. Please don’t judge. Thank you everyone for your help. Sorry so long.RavenSo… What are YOU going to do about this?
AngieBabyNo one here can possibly judge you worse than you’re judging yourself. I don’t have a judgment about you, I’m just wondering why you keep tolerating this situation and handing him your hard-earned cash. What is you’re getting from being with him that’s so valuable to you that you don’t just send him a text right now: “The First Bank of Angela is permanently closed – peace, out.” And block and be done with him. I know it’s easy for me to sit here and say but damn girl, stand up for yourself. You’ve now trained him that he can do whatever he wants to you and you’ll still fork over the dough. Only you can put an end to this. So do it. Today.
TammyIf your sistr or a close friend is in ur situatn what wld u tell her? Keep shellin out money to help her bf? Who gets nasty and mean when she doesnt give money or gifts? Wld u advice her to stick around? Pls stop trying to buy love. You cant.. does he spend money on you? Gets u things? Takes you out for dinner? Drnks? Lunch?
MaddieWhat are you getting out of this arrangement? You can find someone to be nice to you without paying them for it, so there must be another need you’re getting met by the situation?
RoxHello Angela,
You are too kind. I imagine when he is mean to you he is emotionally blackmailing you. Do you feel you owe him for some happiness in a long past?
I’m telling you , you don’t owe him anything. You need to stop talking to him, no explanation needed if you are afraid of confrontation. Try one week no contact. Stay strong. You will feel a difference. Go out with friends, own your life back. Take care of yourself
